Here are 3 good ways to treat mites on your chickens:
1. Wash and rinse a spray bottle thoroughly making sure that any liquid that used to be inside the bottle is fully gone.
2. Combine your spray ingredients. You'll need, 10 ounces of water, 5 tsps. Of garlic salt/powder, and 1 teaspoon of essential oil, such as lavender, cinnamon, basil, or thyme.
Take an empty spray bottle, put in 2 cups of water, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and 4 tablespoons of dish soap, shake bottle up and down. Spray this mixture on your chickens, the roost poll, and the coop, including where there might be holes and cracks.
Letting your chickens dust bathe can also help prevent mites, throw a bag of Diatamacheous earth in your chicken pen, or run.
Hope this help you all!
Good luck!
